300,000-450.000 SHU. West Indies Red Habanero brings a true Caribbean blaze, pairing serious heat with an intensely fragrant, fruity aroma. This classic heirloom Capsicum chinense, also known as Caribbean Red, produces glossy, lantern-shaped to slightly bell-like pods about 2 inches across that ripen from light green to vivid red. Compact, bushy plants often reach 3 to 4 feet tall and set heavy clusters, with ripe red harvests commonly starting around 70 to 95 days from transplant, depending on conditions. Use it to power jerk seasonings, pepper sauces, mashes, and chutneys, where a small amount adds bright tropical flavor and long-lasting fire. Non-Isolated.
